There's no way that Ranger will pull your CTD - even if it did have the traction, there's too much of a disparity in the torque department... gear ratios or not! [coffee]
EDIT: ok - he might be able to pull you in neutral if the E-brake wasn't too tight |

The Axles Weight About 1,000lbs A Piece. The Gear Ratios Of 6.72 Will Make It Easy For That Motor To Turn The Tires No Matter What

Even if he has a "rediculous crawl ratio in first", his truck is still half the weight of mine, and he's also only putting as much power as that 4.0 V6 can make through it. Would it really matter? Also, does an Atlas 4 speed even bolt up to that engine? I'd guess he's running the stock tranny and being underpowered turning those big axles and big tires.

the truck is so darn light absolutely ... |
one question is this on pavment or on dirt?
|
If his hitch point is really high and its on dirt definately get it on vidoe as the front of his truck rises off the ground when you begin pulling him. Like others have said try not to spin your tires to much at all it will only hurt on pavement.
|
I can't believe that I'm hearing guys even thinking that it is a small possibility. Like a fat guy against a little kid in a tug o' war. Not even possible that he will out pull you....I don't care how high his hitch is. If it is 2 ft. higher than yours.....you will bend his frame or make him ride a backwards wheelie.

just hook up and get it over with
heck i will do it if i lived closer |

That's about the funniest thing I've heard. Make sure you get a bunch on his buddies to stand around with video cameras. He won't live it down for a long time. Make sure you have the pull in a big field, so you have plenty of room to drag him around while hanging your head out the window looking back at his truck laughing.
Make him tie off to a drop hitch and there's no contest. Engaging 4wd on a CTD increases traction about 300% because of the heavy front end. |
just make sure and get this on video...lol
never seen a ranger flipped on it's rear end...lol i've hooked to a bunch of vehicles and only lost once when i got my clutch too hot (after me pulling him for a good 10 minutes...) no way with the ctd weight and torque he has a chance... |
